I made sure to outline every little detail in the code so that even the most inexperienced theme-user will not get lost

“I’m really shit at this kind of stuff, but it’s mutual.”

Im love Call me, Beep me?????

“You’ll always be my lily of the lamplight. My own dear Roderich.”

“But I know we’ll meet again, some sunny day.”

OK but can we talk about this for a second? This is all going off of the spoilers I saw, and I’m really wanting to talk about this.

For a while, I was team erwin for the serum. I really sided with Levi on that decision. Why? I felt that erwin could pull everyone through, that he had the right brain for the mission at hand and for future operations. I felt that since erwin was already “pack leader”, and had been through thick and thin, he would be the best fit to continue on.

This is why I was for erwin taking the serum instead of armin. With armin, I felt that he wasn’t insistent and mentally strong enough to take such a strong responsibility as being a titan shifter and ultimately holding the fate of the corps in his hands. I loved him as an intelligent mind, an excellent coordinator and an incredibly quick soldier, and I didn’t doubt for a second that he could handle indirect responsibility. But I never saw leadership and significant pressure as a strong suit for him, which is why I sided with Erwin.

So you can imagine that when Levi gave the serum to Armin, I was a little surprised, until I took a step back to analyze.

I didn’t take mindset into account. Erwin told Levi he didn’t want the serum to go to him, and has repeatedly insinuated that he wanted to die and felt he couldn’t go forward with his position as commnder. This mindset in and of itself is toxic as a man in his position of power and influence to the corps. Once he loses faith in himself to do his job, so will others, and slowly erwin will lose his ability to perform like he used to. Erwin decline has been coming on for a long time now, and we’re finally seeing his tragic end. He’s emotionally drained, physically and mentally exhausted, and has lost his spark to keep moving forward in the way that he used to.

This is when I saw Levi’s reasoning. Armin is slowly developing as a character. Lately, especially in the last chapter when he gave up his life, we’ve been seeing tremendous bravery and initiative from little armin. He’s growing. He’s getting stronger and more assertive with himself. Levi sees this, and is willing to chance throwing armin into the mix in hopes that he will develop a mindset similar to Erwins with unwavering bravery and tact for anything that comes his way.

“Two forces can’t cancel out each other,” Keith reiterated his grandmaster’s words. He smiled and clenched his hand, closing himself to the pain that spiked from his palm to his fingertips.

“You’re smiling,” Lance whispered, leaning close and giving those words an air of secretiveness.

harrypotterfanfiction.com

harmony vs romione vs dramione – it was getting UGLY out there (hell, it’s STILL ugly out there)

constant idealization of draco and constant demonization of ron – which led to the creation of the “draco in leather pants” and “ron the death eater” tropes. (you still see this, of course, but i think we’re getting better)

my immortal dramatic readings EVERYWHERE

my immortal still being on fanfiction.net

actual fanart of my immortal

soooo many youtube music videos for the creator’s otp

“harry potter chatroom” videos on youtube where the premise was that each character had a laptop and was in an online chatroom for some reason. usually each character got their own music that played in the background while they “typed,” and they all looked like this:

i wish i was kidding

i may have been obsessed with these when i was nine

so many fanvids of draco with “untitled” by simple plan (aka “how could this happen to meeeeeeeeeeeee i made my mistaaaaaaaakes”)

fanfics where voldemort had a daughter (and it was ALWAYS a daughter. pre-cursed child, mind you.)

people actually liking snape

pretty blatantly ignoring the fact that electricity doesn’t work at hogwarts in fanfictions

THE RISE OF DRARRY

drapple (draco + green apples. not joking.)

that fanfic that was a lemon of the giant squid and the hogwarts castle… i can’t be the only one that read it out of sheer morbid curiosity 

jily fanfics that gave lily two OC friends that would be paired off with sirius and remus

no muggleborn slytherins, ever

fanmade potter puppet pal videos – some of them were quite good, but most weren’t

bashing viktor krum, cho chang, lavender brown, fleur delacour, and the entire weasley family for no reason

fics where people “switched houses”

people actually shipping snily

you could always tell the author’s opinion of draco malfoy based on whether they called him “malfoy” or “draco” in their narration

fanvids of “you belong with me” for every ship imaginable 

the trio ALWAYS being white in fanart

fics where hermione randomly got hot over the summer

sorting yourself into slytherin to be “edgy”

or because you had a crush on tom felton

or both

pairing hermione with literally every male character. ron, harry, draco, cedric, fred and george (sometimes both at once), lucius, snape, voldemort, neville, dean, seamus… if they interacted in canon (or even if they didn’t), they were shipped

“transfer student” OCs to explain why they haven’t been there for the past five years

not many same-gender pairings apart from wolfstar and drarry

harmony fanfics making ginny an “evil bitchy slut” and ron a drunken rapist so harry and hermione can find comfort in each other’s arms

people placing literal bets with actual money on who would die in the last book

which led to a bit of an issue for people who had bet on harry, as no one was sure whether or not it actually counted since he didn’t stay dead

my immortal predicting that harry would turn out to be a horcrux

people flipping the fuck out when their otps got sunk in the epilogue and swearing off the series forever

everyone having a crush on oliver wood (to be fair this one is completely understandable)

school play fanfics, usually with the purpose of getting their otp to kiss on stage (i am 1000% convinced jk rowling had “tales of beedle the bard” mention that theatrical productions are banned at hogwarts specifically to get people to knock it off)

“american exchange student” OCs

a girl ends up in harry’s (or draco’s) dorm for some reason – either bc she’s pulling a mulan or because of a mistake no one bothered to fix

lots of fanfics of the otp banging bc “i don’t want to die a virgin”

“101 ways to annoy lord voldemort” lists

calling voldemort “moldyshorts”

fanfics of the characters somehow reading the harry potter books and reacting to them (these were all taken down bc of copyright)

leaving peter out of marauders fanart and fanfic (i understand the urge but come on he was a marauder it’s what made his betrayal so tragic)

fred/george fanfic (my eyes, they bleed)

fred and george (but mostly fred) being the school heartthrobs

think of any two characters. any two. there is a fanfiction somewhere that ships them. (this is still true, of course – in a fandom this massive, it’s inevitable)

if you spoiled THAT DEATH from the sixth book, and someone murdered you for it, it was your fault

same with THAT DEATH from the fifth book. and a certain few THOSE DEATHS from the seventh.

cedric dying was old news within like a month though.

the divide between people who had gotten into the series late (or, sometimes, because of the movies) and people who had been there since (almost) the beginning

people refusing to go online until they’d finished reading the seventh book for fear of spoilers (i am SO glad i didn’t have tumblr back then)

people actually saying they wanted to join the death eaters

every character was either good or evil. no in between as far as the fandom was concerned.

everyone’s icon looking like this for some reason

dramione fanfics where he calls her mudblood AFTER THEY START DATING??? AND SHE PUTS UP WITH IT????

dramione fics where hermione heals him with her love

making ginny out to be the school bicycle and basically burning her at the stake for going on dates

fics where the head boy and girl get their own separate room??? for some reason???

VAMPIRE AUS (usually harry and/or draco)

dumbledore either being 100% heroic or satan

hermione’s parents always being named “dan and emma”

fics where hermione turns out to be adopted and a pureblood all along!

harry switching to the dark side for some reason??

basically

the harry potter fandom has ALWAYS been wild

*Here lies Todd Allison and the Petunia Violet by Nozmo. This was a mystery/adventure/comedy/thriller webcomic set in the 1920′s of Melbourne Australia about a perky Aborigine girl named Petunia Elkwood and her antisocial, but brilliant next-door-neighbor, Todd Allison. The two of them get caught up in a mystery involving the mysterious bomber, Violet, whom Todd Allison is trying to stop along with his investigative team, and how it involves Petunias brothers, eccentric and dark politician Elijah and adopted and calm, but spontaneous Meredith. Twists and turns and secrets are thrown here and there, but can Todd Allison and Petunia solve the crime and make it out alive?

Sadly, we’ll never know

The webcomic was archived from what I discovered today and so it’s cancelled.Researching the news once I was informed by the media, it would appear as if Nozmo was struggling and has also disappeared from the media as well. No word on where or how she’s doing other then the fact that the comic is cancelled. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen this happen and it’s not a good feeling to me either. My mind goes into a dark place thinking this and right now I’m sad and concerned over what’s going on. I hope Nozmo’s okay. When you’re not active on a project your working on (especially for an extended period of time) it tends to die out and lose interest from its providers and programmers, so it lets them go. I kept myself busy with other things to pass the time and occupy myself through other interests and fandoms, but I always did, in a blue moon, check to see the updates on the webcomic. Now that it’s gone, it really bums me out. I stumbled upon that webcomic some time ago and read it like three times (even the two backstories, The Daydreamings of Todd Allison and All or Nothing Gamble) and we are left now on a cliffhanger just when things were getting good. (sigh) guess we now have a fond memory to look back on now and never know how it ends. Such a shame. It was really fun reading it and imagining the characters voices in my mind along with the theme music. Nice art, cool characters, interesting plot, big mysteries and good humor all gone. Oh well, It was fun while it lasted. Farewell, Fandom.

Farewell, Todd Allison and the Petunia Violet

How Shea Butter is made is the Northern Region of Ghana 

Video by Hamamat Mantia  

(Blast from the past on that last one… Hamamat winning her Miss Malaika crown in 2006!)

In addition to her job as a model, Hamamat is an entrepreneur and activist. She’s the founder of Africa Eats Now, an organization committed to reducing malnutrition throughout Africa.

She also just recently launched a series of children’s books, Zuzu & Sasa, which tells the story of two Ghanaian sisters whose adventure throughout Africa discovering magic, gaining self-confidence, and learning about African culture and history.

I believe she’s now moved back to Ghana after being away for a while. In the videos, she’s visiting her family in Tamale in the Northern Region of Ghana. (Shea butter is a suuuuper important product for many communities in that region.)

She’s also a mum and has two little ones of her own. :3

In conclusion, Hamamat is a stunning and very accomplished Ghanaian woman!

For more about Hamamat’s visit to Tamale, you can check out her instagram here or this article. For more of the Accra photoshoot (the one with Hamamat in front of the Ghanaian flag motorway pillar) check out this one.
